Lockhart recorded the victory for the Wildcats, and it only took 12 innings and 181 pitches to do so. He also struck out 16 batters along the way.

The senior, who is set to play quarterback at Southeastern next year, hit the 100-pitch mark in the seventh inning, and when Walker Coach Randy Sandifer wanted to take him out, Lockhart opted to stay in.

Sandifer even had an assistant talk to Lockhart's dad and get his opinion on if he should keep throwing.

Said Lockhart: "After seven, Coach said I was only going to pitch to 115 pitches. I ended up going (181). It was tough. It’s just my back. My arm was fine. I could have went even more, but it was just my back. I’m going to take an ice bath tonight.”

According to the LHSAA handbook, (10.3.3) the number of innings a pitcher may pitch during a calendar week (Sunday-Saturday) shall be determined by the principal.

Is 181 pitches too many for one game? Should the LHSAA implement a pitch count, and if so, what should the maximum per game be? Vote in the poll and tell us what you think in the comment section below.
